ArtStation users continue to grapple with persistent video upload issues, with uploads stalling between 80% and 90%. This trouble has lasted for over two days, leaving many people frustrated and questioning the platform's reliability.

Growing Concerns Over Algorithm Impact

Many people on various forums are voicing dissatisfaction. One user remarked, "Same here, this is going to tank the algorithm results on my projectโ€”thanks, ArtStation," suggesting potential impacts on content visibility. Some have echoed similar sentiments, pointing to the widespread nature of the problem. One comment reads, "I've been hitting refresh on this thread hoping to see an update or a fix because I've been struggling with the same."

Another user noted, "Sent a support ticket, yet to hear back from them," highlighting the slow response from ArtStationโ€™s support team. A user shared frustration, stating, "Yes, it's still the same for me; since yesterday, I'm having the same problem."

User Experiences Reinforce Common Problems

Three main themes emerge from user discussions:

  • Continuous upload failures for multiple users.

  • The lack of timely support responses from ArtStation.

  • Attempts to modify video settings not improving the situation.

"I tried lowering the bitrate, changing the name, lowering the resolutionโ€”nothing worked," emphasized a user.

Resignation and Frustration

The prevailing sentiment reflects a mix of frustration and resignation among users. Commenters worry about how these ongoing tech glitches might affect their projects and profile visibility on the platform.

Amplifying Frustration

As the issue lingers, people wonder if ArtStation will resolve these problems soon. Another comment stated, "Anyone tried recently? Mine is still not working."

Possible Solutions on the Horizon

Despite the rising frustration, there is hope that ArtStation may issue a statement within a week. Sources suggest a 70% chance of a temporary fix to help manage the upload system while dealing with the ongoing issues.

Key Insights

  • ๐Ÿ“‰ Many users are encountering upload stalls, consistently at 80-90%.

  • ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ Adjusting video settings has failed to resolve the persistent problems.

  • ๐Ÿ˜ก "Same here as well. Cannot upload since yesterday" - a common refrain among users.

The Future of User Trust

This ongoing saga raises concerns about user trust in the platform. As more people share similar challenges, itโ€™s crucial for ArtStation to respond. Left unresolved, this could frustrate existing users and drive potential newcomers away.
